Having SA seems to make it harder to connect with people. Maybe it's from being quiet and poor social skills associated with this. It's not that I've never connected with anyone but it takes time. Like my bestest friend and I didn't really fully connect for like 2 and a half months after meeting.

I've connected with girls online before, some for long periods but nothing came from them. In person, I've never been past the first date. Many times on dating apps, girls just ghost me after a while.

People can meet somewhere for the first time and a few hours later be in bed with them. It's mind boggling. Yet I couldn't keep a conversation going at parties back in college.

How are we supposed to connect with people when we are like this?
